The answer to the riddle is most likely:
Easter ei (3 letters)
Here’s why:
- Easter: This refers to the Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
- Verborgen grap: This translates to “hidden egg” in Dutch.
- Ei: This is the Dutch word for “egg”.
In many Easter traditions, especially in Europe, children participate in egg hunts where hidden eggs (often decorated) are sought after. So, “Easter ei” cleverly combines the Easter theme with the hidden egg aspect of the riddle.
